Eligibility Criteria

Every CFNIL scholarship has a unique intent, often reflecting the background of the donor or person in whose memory the fund was created. CFNIL uses an online "universal" application to ensure the most efficient process; as an applicant, you do not need to predetermine which scholarships you should apply for. Complete ONE application each cycle, and your answers to a series of yes/no and personal background questions automatically match you to every scholarship you are eligible for. Because our scholarships were created to support students of all ages, backgrounds, and aspirations, we encourage every scholarship seeker (high school graduating seniors and older) to apply!

Specifications

Academic performance will be considered in the selection process.

For the purposes of this scholarship, healthcare professions include but are not limited to pharmacy, dental, medical, respiratory therapy, nursing, etc.

Written Prompt

Each CFNIL scholarship is created with a specific purpose in mind. As you complete the application, the system automatically matches you with every scholarship for which you are eligible and will present you with a specific written prompt for each. You're encouraged to craft a unique response to each prompt to show the reviewers why you're the best candidate for that scholarship.

Scholarship Background and Intent

Throughout the past 70 years, the women of the Winnebago County Medical Society Alliance made a  significant impact on improving the health and well-being of the people in and around Winnebago County and spearheaded the creation of the Rockford Health Careers Foundation.

The foundation's mission was to improve the health of our community by providing scholarships to individuals seeking degrees in healthcare within our local community. Over the course of the last 68 years, the foundation has provided scholarships to aspiring nurses, doctors, radiology technicians, and others pursuing healthcare-related education.
